Improper slaughtering techniques, excessive speed and overwork.

Well, the answer is kind of gross, but I'll write it anyways... E.coli is a bacteria that lives in the intestines of many mammals. As long as it stays there, it's harmless. But when cows are slaughtered, some of the cow's excrements are splattered on to the meat. When you eat the meat, the bacteria spread to your blood, and that's when it becomes dangerous.

Yes.
The short, non-graphic version:
When butchers gut cows, they sometimes rupture the animals’ intestines, and since E. coli is spread through contact with fecal matter, cows’ flesh can become infected with the bacteria during this procedure.

When beef is processed less than sanitary conditions the continence of the intestines(poop) can contaminate meat as it is ground up. Grinding mixes it thoroughly and it ends up on our tables-yum!

Yes. Partially from the stomach contents of the cow getting splashed onto the rest of the meat. Yummy, huh?
